Volume 1, Chapter 72, Major Events May Be Minimized

Gu Kejiu was able to climb to the position of the prefect, so he was not a simple person. He knew very well who could offend and who could not offend him.

He also has a background. The Gu family in Nanzhili is also a famous family of officials. He and his brother Gu Kexue both ranked first on the list and were also famous for their high school Jinshi.

However, compared with the Chen family in Longxi and the wealthy maritime merchants, their family is still far behind. He doesn't want to provoke such a powerful enemy for the Gu family.

However, he is not a corrupt official, and he is still relatively honest. If there was no intervention from the Chen family of Longxi, he would even dare to defeat Song Yingkui, a fourth-rank senator. Now with the intervention of the Chen family of Longxi, he would not dare to do this.

What to do?

Longxi Chen family cannot offend him. He will not do anything like that even accused Yang Cong of accusations. Just kidding, Yang Cong wrote clearly in the letter. When he was in Hui'an, he had a bond with Chen Wenjie of Longxi Chen family. Now that he has nothing to do, he must have a backstage.

He can't afford to offend both sides, and it seems that he can only mix things up. I hope he can turn big things into small things.

He looked at it for a long time with a guise and then raised his head and said aloud: "The two parties have different opinions on this matter, and neither parties have any evidence. I cannot make a conclusion. I still need to verify it from multiple parties before handling it. Everyone should be disbanded."

After saying that, he actually waved his hand and left with a group of followers and yamen runners!

""

The prefect sang, including Yang Cong, Wu Tang, Song Yingkui, and a group of candidates who failed the exam, and those who watched the fun around were almost petrified by his Lei on the spot.

Gu Kejiu could not control so much, and he was indeed in a hurry to verify it. After all, this matter was related to the fraud case of the government. He didn't want the two sides to become more and more fierce, and he couldn't get out of the market.

After all, he is the head of a government official, and he can still find some things as long as he orders to investigate them.

Soon, all kinds of news came to his ears.

It turns out that Yang Cong is the eldest grandson of Yang Rong, the Yang family in Hui'an.

It turns out that Chen Wenjie is the son of Chen Jiude, the censor of the Censorate.

It turned out that Yang Cong was because the daughter of Zhang Yue, the right censor of the Censorate, had a grudge against Chen Wenjie.

It turned out that Chen Wenjie was really beaten up by Yang Cong in Hui'an.

It turned out that Yang Cong's backstage was Xu Jie, the chief judge of the government office. Moreover, Yang Cong had a good relationship with the famous gentry in the city, namely Shi Zhixuan, the official prosecutor of the government office.

Gu Kejiu naturally knew that the Yangming lineage was a huge figure comparable to the wealthy maritime businessmen. Therefore, he rarely cared about Xu Jie's affairs. He did whatever others like, as long as he didn't provoke him.

This is also the reason why he didn't know the character Yang Cong. Since he didn't care about Xu Jie's affairs, he naturally didn't know what kind of people Xu Jie was dating. As for the county test in Hui'an, the entire Quanzhou Prefecture has seven counties: Jinjiang, Nan'an, Tong'an, Hui'an, Anxi, Yongchun and Dehua. Hui'an is not a top county, so he naturally doesn't pay much attention to it.

Once this information is complete, he understands that if this matter is allowed to develop, it may develop into a big battle between the Yangming lineage and the maritime merchants.

You must not fight here. If the "city gate in Quanzhou catches fire", my pond fish will be in trouble.

He dared not let this continue. He must immediately make peace and let both sides stop immediately.

He can't speak for the time being in the Chen family of Longxi for the time being. Xu Jie has a good relationship with him. After all, the two of them work in Quanzhou Prefecture, and Xu Jie is his subordinate, so it's okay to invite him to discuss it.

After almost the "in and outs" of the whole matter were investigated, he ordered someone to invite Xu Jie.

Xu Jie naturally knew what the prefect was looking for him for. He was making up for this matter. He was almost laughing and screaming at this moment. Chen Wenjie played this trick so well. This was simply pushing the prefect to him!

Naturally, he had to make good use of this powerful help. After being summoned by the prefect, he immediately ran to Gu Kejiu's study, pretended to be kind, and bowed with a smile: "Prince, I wonder what to explain to you when you recruit an official?"

Seeing this, Gu Kejiu sighed and stood up, stepped forward and pulled him to the guest seat beside him, and then he smiled bitterly: "Mr. Xu, you gods are going to fight. At least you will be the prophet, and the whole mansion will be sensational. This is a bit unbearable!"

Xu Jie understood this tone as soon as he heard it. The prefect wanted to make a big deal worse.

Can this big thing be reduced?

Even if he could, he would have to make it bad. Just kidding, how could he just let it go like this? He had prepared a lot of backhand, waiting to fight with Chen, Longxi.

Many things are probably still in the dark now. His chances of winning are quite high, so how could he stop?

He was stunned for a moment, then pretended to be ashamed and said, "Oh, Master, the lower official is really ashamed. The lower official didn't expect it to be like this. When Chen Wenjie and my friend Yang Cong had a conflict, the lower official thought they were just children making trouble, and they didn't take it much to heart. Unexpectedly, Chen, the Longxi family, would actually do such a ruthless move this time."

Ruthless?

What a cruel move?

Isn’t they just want to deal with a little Yang Cong? Is this also called taking ruthless actions?

Gu Kejiu asked in confusion: "What does Lord Xu mean? Does that mean? Does that Chen Wenjie not only want to deal with Yang Cong, but also want to deal with others?"

Xu Jie said half-truely: "Master, the officials have found out that this matter has come to light. The Chen family of Longxi has planned it for a long time. Song Yingkui was sent by them. This time they not only want to deal with Yang Cong, but also want to deal with Lord Zhao Yan and Zhao. Even, if possible, they want to even bring down you!"

"Ah!", Gu Kejiu's face changed even though his mind was deep. Chen Shi, Longxi actually wanted to deal with him and Zhao Yan, wouldn't it?

He said in disbelief: "Mr. Xu, isn't this so exaggerated?"

This matter is naturally not so exaggerated to Gu Kejiu. The Chen family in Longxi did not want to deal with this prefect.

However, Xu Jie couldn't let Gu Kejiu think so. He sighed helplessly: "Oh, magistrate, you think, why did they send Song Yingkui here? Suppressing Zhao Yan is only one aspect. On the other hand, Song Yingkui, the left senator, is just a free position from the fourth rank. Don't he want to go up to a small rank?"

Gu Kejiu's face became even more ugly when he heard this. Isn't he the fourth-rank Left Senator going up to a small level and the fourth-rank real power prefect? ​​Is it true that Chen Shi of Longxi really planned to deal with him?

Xu Jie secretly observed his face and finally sighed: "Master, the magistrate, the lower official just received a quick report from Luojiang Station in the north of the city. Song Yingkui ordered the post station to 800 miles to report the Quanzhou Prefecture's cheating to the Master Xuezheng. It seems that the Chen family in Longxi will not give up if they don't catch us all. Magistrate, we must prepare early!"

Gu Kejiu's face turned dark after hearing this.

Good, you Wu Tang, you Chen Wenjie, you Song Yingkui, you don’t take this official seriously at all!
